Evergreen's Goth Keyboard for "meat-loving people"

We think it's dark and it looks like rain. The wind is blowing like it's the end of the world, you said. It's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead. And then you smiled for a second, and told us the $19 Evergreen Goth keyboard is available in Japan only. Sigh.

Only two types of gadget makers in the world:

1. Those who make gadgets for 21+ non-US males;
2. Those who make gadgets for Halo playing WoW loving animals.

The keyboard, is obviously made by the latter.

[Thomas Ricker @ Jan 25th 2008 6:26AM]

The Cure is not a "goth" music band.

But yes, I agree, Disintegration is good.

[Lenny @ Jan 25th 2008 6:11AM]

Looks more like it was designed for GWAR fans.

[qwert @ Jan 25th 2008 6:17AM]

funny?

however the form factor of the keyboard (sans the skulls) looks quite nice.

[jtc970 @ Jan 25th 2008 6:21AM]

You have to be really really cool to own this set.
Like non-parental loved, black lipstick, nose ring, eyeliner cool.

For everyone else, theres Logitech.

Reminds me of the day I threw up in the office.

[3monkies @ Jan 25th 2008 7:38AM]

That's the shit!!!!! I'm gettin' one!!! Wait, is it Mac compatible?

[Fuzzball @ Jan 25th 2008 7:38AM]

Backslash key is in the wrong place. Because of this, I wouldn't even consider it.

[booticon @ Jan 25th 2008 11:26AM]

Yeah, I can't stand it when Backspace keys are that small.

[john @ Jan 25th 2008 7:42AM]

I have heard of niche markets but thats going a little overboard. I was unaware they had goth's in Japan.

[oshean @ Jan 25th 2008 9:14AM]

ゴスロリ

[Corwin @ Jan 25th 2008 11:11AM]

Oshean is correct.... there is a huge "Goth" following in Japan referred to as "ゴスロリ".... most closely "Goth-loli" in English..... it's difficult to walk down the strip in most major Japanese cities without running into them.

[john @ Jan 25th 2008 11:24AM]

Thanks for clearing that up Corwin. So i guess it was a good niche to target after-all.

[Damian @ Jan 25th 2008 8:38AM]

john you were unaware they had goths in Japan? Are you kidding? Japanese goths look fantastic, like everything the Japanese do you have to give them massive points for style.

Erm, I actually bought a keyboard for a goth girl as a birthday present last year (I broke her old keyboard with red wine lol). I wouldn't of bought this, it looks pretty ugly, though I'll get her to have a look see what she things. I bought her that saitek keyboard that glows red through they keys, she loves it.

[johnzilla @ Jan 25th 2008 11:49AM]

Right, because obviously the one particular "goth" girl you know is the style arbiter on anything labeled "goth" and therefore her opinion ends all argument.

[Damian @ Jan 25th 2008 11:56AM]

lol, I wasn't trying to infer that at all XD. No need to get pissy :P

I just thinks it looks pretty ugly, I realise these things are highly subjective, but I think you'd struggle to find even 'a goth' perspective that disagreed. But hey whatever.

[larry @ Jan 25th 2008 8:40AM]

goths are one step down from emo kids.

[painty @ Jan 25th 2008 9:01AM]

actually they're one step up

[Prokanda @ Jan 25th 2008 9:14AM]

actually no, you're both wrong... they're tied for most useless waste of oxygen.

[painty @ Jan 25th 2008 10:19AM]

nah you're wrong plug earringed screamo dude

[hh @ Jan 25th 2008 6:03PM]

well. dunno about goths. but i have a couple of metal friends that might get a kick out of these accessories. as long as they dont see that its referred to as a "goth" keyboard.

[Chip @ Jan 25th 2008 9:51AM]

Hmm biz idea.. I'll buy some cheap keyboards and glue crosses, virgin Mary and Jesus to it for the Right wingers. Maybe I could make a keyboard out of compressed hemp for the left.

[talkingtowalls @ Jan 25th 2008 10:06AM]

you could make so much money on the crosses thing. those people will buy anything.

[lt goodluck @ Jan 25th 2008 5:43PM]

That set-up wouldn't look out of place at Hot Topic next to the black candles and Marilyn Manson merch.

[talkingtowalls @ Jan 25th 2008 10:06AM]

Kudos for the Cure reference! Perhaps they were only borderline goth, even as yesterday's standards go, but they sure got the ball rolling for all those goth bands later on...

oh, and this thing is quite ugly. I agree with Eric in the first post... only for a WoW fanatic. (and the few i know have better fashion sense than to buy this...)

[kalavinka @ Jan 25th 2008 11:15AM]

how could this be for Japan only when it doesn't have a Japanese keyboard layout? for gaijin in Japan only? you should also check out the equally ugly matching speakers and webcam

[John @ Jan 25th 2008 12:21PM]

damn it Japan.

[eddy7496 @ Jan 25th 2008 12:38PM]

Will This Be Available At Hot Topic?

[jacquerr @ Jan 25th 2008 3:26PM]

People in japan need a qwerty keyboard?

[applefreak @ Jan 25th 2008 3:25PM]

hahaha.. oookkkk
* backs away slowely*

[ZeroCorpse @ Jan 25th 2008 4:54PM]

Don't get me started on how commercialized and stupid the subculture I enjoyed when I was a teen in the early 80s has become...

My gripe today is that this is just a plain black keyboard with a cheap-ass, plastic Halloween graveyard decoration glued to it. That's all. I mean, if you're going to make a "goth" keyboard, then at least make the keys with a cool calligraphic font and make the USB cable striped or something.

This isn't goth. It's just Hot Topic lame.

[3v1lkr0w @ Jan 28th 2008 10:26AM]

This looks awesome, i would get it for s***s and giggles if not for the fact its wired...
